Digestive System
1. Mouth - The first part of the digestive system. Enzymes in the mouth help soften the food before it goes to the other parts of the system.
2. Esophagus - The second part of the digestive system. Muscles in the esophagus move the food down to the stomach and grind the food as it goes down.
3. Stomach - The third part of the digestive system. Acids in the stomach break down the food. A mucus lining on the stomach protects the stomach wall from the acids.
4. Small Intestine - The fourth part of the digestive system. Chemicals from the food called feces are taken out of the food and are absorbed into the body.
5. Large Intestine - The fifth and final part of the digestive system. The fluids from the food are finally absorbed into the body making the food dryer before it exits the body.
